DH has gone out to play...

Grannyactivist I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like that. Trouble is that all my DH's activities mean he comes back either wet and muddy or hot and sweaty, both meaning extra laundry for me.

Rich living would n't reach her toes would it?

Mine sits by muck heaps, think yourself lucky he doesn't come home smelling of cow dung

GP also wants me to measure my blood pressure for a week and average the scores. It's high. 'Taint fair (when was life fair?) – never smoked, never been overweight, don't drink much alcohol (never have), got masses of exercise until I came down with ME which slowed me down, and still get a fair bit. Where have I gone wrong? Must be all the flapjack.

Merlotgran are you mad ? If he fit and well enough to sit out in the cold all day fishing , I'm blowed if I would be making sandwiches etc. I hope you get your days off too and that he has dinner waiting when you get back.

bags I'm thinking of you.

I did n't like to say that!

buggered blowed if I make his sarnies for him!

merlot you are a saint.

Flower the mind boggles. Does he do anything in particular while he sitting near the muck heaps?

Poor old Mr. J doesn't have any hobbies. As for me my ambition is to become Miss Haversham and I am getting quite good at it.

Pogs LOL.

DH played golf today for the first time for weeks. I would have made smoked salmon sandwiches and blinis with caviar if it got him some exercise. Waving the remote is not good for the blood pressure. I then plunge in to the domestic toil but get through far quicker and far less tiringly without the constant interruption .

DH got more funding today so, when he goes out to play, he gets paid!

Good Lord Kitty. I hope he doesn't go out to play and get paid in a certain red light district in Leicester.

The mind boggles.

I had a very painful toe bags, turned out to be a very small corn at the side of my toe which even the chiropodist missed!

I would have thought if your GP suspected ingrown toenail he would have arranged a visit to a chiropodist.

Mine gets paid for some of his hobbies (he is a Warrant Officer in the local Air Cadets and is always off on expeditions with the Squadon...at least that what he tells me), shame he spends it all on his other ones!

All the best with the antibiotics bags.

Thanks, agus and pittcity. GP did mention getting some of toenail removed if necessary but I guess he thought he'd be able to tell if that was necessary when the infection (which is quite slight actually; end of toe is just a bit red, not swollen or yucky) is cleared up. I was really quite surprised when he prescribed an antiB. I thought he'd tell me to soak it in Dettol or something.

Oh, Bags, I think they worry about infected toes as they can spread and be quite nasty (*Galen*?), so make sure you take your AB's!

Mr. H's hobby is DIY, and he's currently turning our son's loft into a useable room. He's a very handy chap to have around - and it keeps him out of my hair!

My DDH sits by muck heaps to take pictures of the birds that feed on the many insects etc that live there.

Ah! Thought it might be something ornithological.

Saint merlot here..... I suppose I should have mentioned that I get breakfast in bed every Sunday morning.

Pittcity the WM also does his own laundry! (And I'm well into training my two foster sons along the same lines.)

Jinglebellsfrocks, if you want to curl up and eat marmalade sandwiches why don't you change your username to Paddington.
I'm having a day off housework today, far too busy. Clinic apt and choir practice. Mr T cooking the evening meal as its my birthday. I'm dreading it. Have a nice day Jingle.

Sorry meant to say good luck with sore toe Bags.

Happy birthday Thistle. When all the nasty stuff is over. (it will be soon )

And the meal will be lovely!

And I am sure the singing will be very melodious.
